i do. but not this one. this is one of a few (maybe ONE other one) sites ive created that does not require some in-depth knowledge into ytmnd or users or specific sites.

yes, this joke is stupid. yes, it's yet another star trek TNG edits pop culture reference website. but i have showed this to people not familiar to ytmnd and they not only laughed out loud, they seemed impressed with the editing i did. yeah, call me a whore, but considering i have a career in video/film, the ability to please the average person with dumb media is an important understanding to have. i'm proud of the site and even prouder of the low effort that went into actually making it.

this seriously took about 40 minutes to make. even after people are familiarized with AE, they still dont seem to realize the simpliity of duplicating layers, color keying out sections, garbage masking and throwing those layers on top of layers. i'm sure people thought i spent 10 hours in photoshop with the pen tool.

The joke was executed well and it wasn't immediately obvious what the punchline was going to be. That is enough of a criteria to be a good ytmnd as far as I am concerned. Content doesn't have to appeal to everyone, every time. Jokes have their demographics. You hit your demographic, so pat yourself on the back and don't spend that ego all in one place.

Also, I just want to say that what makes this work so well is that the joke hits on 3 levels. First of all, Data is playing poker, and is literally referring to an action in poker. Second of all, poker face can both refer to Lady Gaga's pokerface, and Lady Gaga having a pokerface. And Finally, Data is really innocent, and is unaware of that he just said joke to Lady Gaga when trying to figure out how to play poker, and in fact he might not even be aware of who Lady Gaga is.

she has swimmerettes, i play castinettes. i use a fishing pole, she uses fish nets. i like hello kitty, she's a sly fox. she eats oreos, i like hydrox oooh can't you sEEeeEEee, you belong with mEEeeEEee.[spoil]you bloeng wtih me[/spoil]

i was a little dissapointed to read that you actually made this as a site whore for top rated purposes. Knowing you (so to speak), I first thought that this was some sarcastic, satrical jab at fearcondom and other TNG site makers. Still a 5 though, just a different kind of 5 now.

the whore factor wasn't the only thing that motivated me to make this, although i certainly wrote a lot about that part of it. this idea also made me glad because there was no lady gaga sound required, as a number of you have pointed out. the joke actually makes a lot of sense if you're familiar with the data character. i do criticize people for making trendy kinds of things like tng edits, but that doesn't mean i dont enjoy them. and look, i made one! besides, i love tng. it's an awesome show in my life.

haha someone has been slowly downvoting my highest rated site with alts. why? i will never understand. when max deleted lists of alts, i lost a bunch of votes on this and my rating went up. i'm looking at superdreamkilla and johnny lurg, ymnd's set of identical twins. and now, the downvotes are coming back, as slow as they did before...

Oh, is this a recurring thing that they do? I was wondering why my last site suddenly shot up to 4.4 and dropped to 9 votes. And yet, I don't care either way, and I still continue to barely notice that they evem exist.
